You will also need:

* 3 medium eggs

* 105ml vegetable oil or 110g melted butter

* 200ml water or milk

* Handful of finely chopped walnuts or pecans to decorate

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°c (160°c fan)/gas mark 4. Make the cake mix according to the packet instructions. Line 2 7” round cake tins with baking paper on the base and around the sides. Bake in the oven for approximately 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.

Step 2

Let the cakes cool in the tins for 10 minutes before turning them out onto a cooling rack.

Step 3

When the cakes are cold, sandwich them together with cream cheese frosting on a cake board. Cover the whole cake with a thin covering of frosting and smooth with a cake scraper. Chill the cake in the fridge for 1 hour. Remove the cake from the fridge and add another layer of frosting, smoothing as before.

Step 4

Decorate the cake with edible carrot toppers and finely chopped nuts.

Top Tip: you can add chopped pecans or walnuts into the cake mix before baking for extra crunch!

Step 5

Your delicious carrot cake is now complete and ready to eat!
